1) Meisie = Girl

Not sure what the second one is cause does not sound like an Afrikaans word.

hallo

still doesn't seem very afrikaans. we don't use the sound of an english j much.
can you try and spell it phonetically?
just things like: a sounds like a in same or a in father?
so we can get a better idea of what this word might be
